[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ST13Hogan:
First, hi there.... i'm a newbie regarding flashing smartphones.... so please be kind :D

My phone info:

OS Version: 7.0.7008.0

Firmwareversion: 2250.09.11901.207

HW-Rev: 0002

Radio: 5.51.09.06a_22.30.50.09U

Radio-HW: A.102.0.D4

Bootloaderversion: 1.19.2250.0(111297)

Chip-SOC-Version: 2.2.5.0

Provider: o2 Germany

(HD7 bought via o2myhandy)

PreNoDo-Update is installed.

And here are coming the questions :):

1. Correct me if im wrong but it looks like my HD7 is branded from o2. (i have the o2 accent theme in my design settings and so on)

2. I want to unbrand my HD7, to get updates directly and not through o2. Is that possible?

3. If that is possible, which ROM should i use to flash? (Is it useful to debrand my phone with an preNodo ROM and update it then through zune?)

4. Can i use the offical HTC ROMs, or du i have to use other ones?

Thanks!
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlitterTwisted:
This is exactly what I've been wondering too. The o2 search provider (Yahoo) on my phone annoys me lots and I'm fed up waiting for the 7.0.7390 update to arrive. Shall I take matters into my own hands!
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tfn:
Hi

I followed the instructions on this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=988672

and have updated to NODO successfully

Please Note it seems to work with only HTC HD7 on O2 UK

I had an O2 UK and its seems to unbrand it to European version to get the nodo update

Do make sure you read the post properly again and again if you must :), cause I made a few cockups a couple of times but got it right the third time :D
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ST13Hogan:
Thanks!

Whats the difference between the o2 UK and o2 DE ROMs aside the language?
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlitterTwisted:
I've also updated my phone and it worked flawlessly!

It's even now offering the NoDo update officially from MS, I presume because the phone is now unbranded.

Unbranding made a big difference to my phone, stripping the o2 logo off the bootup sequence and taking the crappy Yahoo search off IE.

Very happy with the improvement :)
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mezo9090:
Ok, i hope its not off-topic, but i there seems to be too many threads that got me confused ( some with deleted op )

I am getting a T-Mobile unlocked hd7, question is .. is there a way to unbrand and get NoDo ? If i do it will it get locked again ? ( i used unlock code to unlock it )

Please if it has been posted before, just guide me to the threads i should read.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ST13Hogan:
So you used the info in the posted thread above?
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ST13Hogan:
Did you remove netlock? A unlocked phone will allow you to side load apps. T-Mobile wouldnt do that (its not legal).

[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ST13Hogan:
did anyone from germany try that too? i dont know if UK and DE ROMs from O2 differ that much.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smahmood143:
Even i have a HTC HD7 US T-Mobile version sim unlocked and im using it in China.Is there any way i can unbrand it and get NODO update?

I am currently not eligible for an upgrade until April of 2012 :(. If there is someone who works for Sprint who can change my eligibility date to earlier allowing me to buy the EVO 3D at the Sprint subsidized price, I'm all in and will be developing for the EVO 3D too.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rydah:
Bad/good to hear.
[HTC EVO 3D] toastcfh:
yeah ill for sure maintain the EVO 3D as well ;)

[HTC EVO 3D] sconig:
It would be worth calling Sprint about getting an early upgrade they have done it for several people I know who have a) pay their bills on time and b) express their dislike for the new Silver Plan they have got bumped to in a nice way.

Sent from EVO Shift.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
Just call Sprint up once the phone is released Myn. Ask them if they can give you the 2yr upgrade price for the phone. If they say no, hang up and try again. long as your in good standing and are polite, 90% of the time they can and will get it done for ya. If that doesn't work ask for their supervisor as they can get it done.

If it really comes down to it and you strike out a bunch, when you call ask for the retentions department and tell them the deal you would like. They are more likely to be able to get it done.

Its a hassel but as long as your polite 99% time they will be able to help ya out.
[HTC EVO 3D] Ep3n3wp:
Myn... I say you call and name drop(your own name)... Lol... Try to find a rep that has a rooted evo running your rom... I'm sure they would do it for you.
[HTC EVO 3D] thenags:
That's what I need to know before buying one :D
[HTC EVO 3D] cheapskate88:
I have a single line and pay for the 69.99 plan. I plan on upgrading next month to the 89.99 plan and keeping it around for 3 months. In June when the phone is released, I'll be a Sprint Premier gold member and eligible for the yearly upgrade. I'll upgrade and then drop back down to 69.99.

Over three months, you end up paying 60 with the lowest single line or 120 with the lowest family plan (in most cases).

So the subsidized phone cost will be at the most 260 or 320. Not ideal, but far better than paying the phone outright.

Hope this is a suggestion that helps.

Good luck, myn!
[HTC EVO 3D] Dan330:
i dont think that will work... maybe it will back fire..

you can not drop back down.. or they will charge you for full cost of phone.

dirtyshomez or what ever his name is that works for sprint. he said to call sprint near the release date of the e3d. they should be able to give you a one-time 1yr upgrade. they cant now because there is no phone in the system to attach the upgrade too.
[HTC EVO 3D] cheapskate88:
You can upgrade or downgrade at anytime without any kind of penalty or extension. That's sprints policy.

[HTC EVO 3D] innate024:
I was on Verizon also; just ported my number over a couple of days ago and have an Evo3D waiting for me next Friday. I got stuck with an HTC Arrive for the time being, but I do not have to pay a restocking fee when I return my phone, also got hooked up with a free car charger for not taking an OG Evo. My contract with Verizon is up on the 30th, so my ETF will be minimal - and my service credit will make up for that. I'm all set.
[HTC EVO 3D] filebug:
i got my orginal evo by adding a 4th line to my account paid 20 a month for like 3 months then called and gave them a sob story about why i couldn't keep the line and they reduced my ETF fee to 75 bucks and cancelled my line. Myn you could always ask Virus for some of the 2grand he got donated to him for people to test synergy.
[HTC EVO 3D] Greenfieldan:
Welcome to the phone with the greatest dev support in the world...second only to the Nexus. It was impossible to keep your thread on the first page for MONTHS after the Evo released. I'm hoping (and thinking) the 3D won't be much different. Most of the devs are coming from the 4G, and there are a lot of new names at the table.

That being said, after I finish my programming classes this year there is a good chance I will be jumping in as well :)
[HTC EVO 3D] renzo.olivares:
I dont want to leave verizon so i'll have to deal with the about $600 for the off contract evo 3d, Either way im getting it

im not great at any one thing but given a little time i can wreck all sorts of things.

not sure ill make it another month waiting for my evo3d....been waiting for my upgrade for about 6mo(2 full upgrades and not a damn device in sight ftl)pretty sure its safe to assume that any evo dev that likes his androids will have no choice but to buy,lie,cheat,steal,pimp,pander,prostitute or possibly sell plasma/wife/fiance to get their evo3d...having an evo after the launch of the evo3d is or will not be any type of acceptable for THIS android freak...

I simply do not know half the devs in here. Only one name stands out to me from the work he did with the HTC cdma hero and that is Toast. I have no doubt in my mind that this phone will be a masterpiece with the collaboration of all of these devs working together..
[HTC EVO 3D] OneStepAhead:
mine still says April 2012 as I just switched my plan to a higher one to qualify for gold. after 3 months on the new plan you can upgrade 1 year from your contact date. so June for me. I'm sure us xda members would chip in and buy you one.
[HTC EVO 3D] OneStepAhead:
not to diss Joey but a stock odex rom isn't really deving. I know he's done some other useful dev work.
[HTC EVO 3D] OneStepAhead:
you must of not had an Evo, because all of them sound very familiar to me.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jon.StatiK:
In fact you are correct sir. I'm still using my HTC Hero which is a great phone but I need/want something more powerful. I always said I would save my upgrade for the next big thing and I feel it is time. I'm so looking forward to this and seeing just what the devs can do with a phone like this.

[HTC EVO 3D] cajualfor20:
evo 3d dev

As a RC for Sprint here in Dallas, TX I think I can shed some light on some of the suggested means of acquiring an Evo3D.

First, the suggestion to change your MRC to an 89.99 or higher to recieve Gold benefits is absolutely viable, this is similar to primary line swapping to bump 1YR eligibility into 2YR. The way it would function however is slightly different then how it is being portrayed.

The only requirement is that the line is 1YR eligible, or 75.00$ eligible. Keep in mind that eligibility runs on a 12/22 month term, while contracts run on 12/24.

Past that it is very simple, if the system looks at a line when the billing cycle begins and it qualifies for G|P then as long as 12 billing cycles have passed it will become eligible.

It does not take any specific amount of months, it simply requires you to understand how billing cycles in the cellular world function. When you make a change, they can be made immediate, future, or back-dated. As long as you make the MRC change immediate, then the following bill cycle will reflect the new premiere status. Keep in mind the account will reflect not only proration but 2 months worth of charges. Remember, you are being billed for what the carrier assumes you will do, not what you have done and thus always a month ahead.

Myn: I am not sure if you are familiar with Advantage Club and how it works but we might could work something out, I am a big supporter of your work.

There are also a handful of other loop holes out there for acquiring devices at 2YR price, most require some form of churn however.
[HTC EVO 3D] Dan330:

Thanks for all your hard work

I know I'm not a dev just a fan but I wanted to say Thank You for all of your work. People like myself would never be able to root our phones and enjoy all of the quality roms and tweaks that each of you develop or contribute to. I am excited to see what each of you has to contribute in your own way and it's encouraging to see so many of the brightest and well qualified dev's jumping on the project. I patiently wait to see what you come up with and I am sincerely gratefully for all of your pain staking work. Just thought I'd let each of you know now before you become bombarded with asinine questions and request like," how do I put a room on my phone?" lol Keep up the good work, and good luck I'll be rooting for you. Pardon the pun :)

I am not a dev, just want to ask you something. Will there be custom ROMs with all that 3D content available?

edit:typo
[HTC EVO 3D] toxicfumes22:
I don't think any dev will be able to promise that since the phone hasn't come out yet.
[HTC EVO 3D] Dan330:
i am not a dev...

but i would guess... YES.

some custom ROMs are based off the official RUU from OEM. the devs just add and tweek to make it better. so the 3D stuff should be there.. unless the particular dev did not like that function.

i am sure as more 3D phones come out.. more and more 3D developers will add more features.

other custom ROMs are based on CM.. and they might add 3D functionality to their version far down the road.
[HTC EVO 3D] EmmaHAARP:
So... basically anyone can upgrade to $89.99 for 3 months, get the $150 discount, buy that sexy phone and drop to the $69.99? 0.o!! Me wants!

Or if you had an upgrade coming anytime thru June before they screwed us by changing the Silver/Gold upgrade perk...head over to Sprintusers and find the thread in the general discussion area re the sprint rep fixing this.
